[00:00:00] REALISTIC ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, IT'S. I THRASHED THE GUY OUT OF
[00:00:04] SIGHT WHEN I STOOD AGAINST HIM IN, IN 2019. IT'S HELPFUL TO
[00:00:06] HAVE AN OPPONENT WHO'S, WHO'S A
[00:00:08] LUNATIC. OKAY. UH, I'M JUST
[00:00:11] SAYING, YOU KNOW, STRATEGICALLY, JUST A PIECE OF ADVICE. IF YOU'RE GOING INTO POLITICS,
[00:00:14] PICK YOUR OPPONENTS CAREFULLY. AND LEFT WING LOONIES ARE VERY
[00:00:17] GOOD OPPONENTS. UM, BUT THE
[00:00:22] PROBLEM IS THAT LOTS OF YOUNG
[00:00:24] PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER SOCIALISM. YOU'RE SO YOUNG.
[00:00:28] NOW, WHO WHO REMEMBERS THE COLD
[00:00:31] WAR? WHO, YOU KNOW, WHO REMEMBERS THE SOVIET UNION? OH, RIGHT. DO YOU REMEMBER THE
[00:00:35] SOVIET UNION? YOU DON'T. IT'S
[00:00:40] UNBELIEVABLE. RIGHT? HERE WE ARE WITH THESE BRILLIANT YOUNG THRUSTERS. AND THEY DON'T
[00:00:43] REMEMBER THE SOVIET UNION. UH,
[00:00:45] BUT. SO WE RELY ON YOU AND YOUR POWERS OF IMAGINATION AND LOGIC
[00:00:49] AND REASON TO PROTECT YOUR GENERATION AND FUTURE
[00:00:53] GENERATIONS FROM THE SAME APPALLING MISTAKES. AND SO I DO
[00:00:57] WORRY ABOUT IT. I DO, I DO THINK THERE'S, I DO THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING MISLED AND
[00:01:01] GOING MORE AND MORE LEFT WING.
[00:01:03] AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO.
[00:01:07] AND THAT'S WHY THIS ORGANIZATION IS SO VITAL. YOU'VE GOT TO BE VIGILANT. YOU'VE GOT TO BE
[00:01:10] STRONG. COMMUNISM LEADS TO DISASTER. SOCIALISM LEADS TO
[00:01:14] DISASTER. THERE'S NEVER BEEN A
[00:01:15] LABOR GOVERNMENT IN THE UK THAT
[00:01:19] HAS LEFT OFFICE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT LOWER THAN IT WHEN IT CAME IN. IT ALWAYS GOES UP
[00:01:21] AND THEY ALWAYS BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY. >> WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THIS AT
[00:01:25] THIS POINT TO TAKE YOU LIVE NOW TO THE US CAPITOL, WHERE THE SENATE IS ABOUT TO GAVEL IN FOR
[00:01:28] WHAT WE EXPECT TO BE. A BRIEF SESSION THIS MORNING. THIS IS
